:Methylcellulose
Description:
Methylcellulose is a cellulose derivative characterized by the substitution of hydroxyl groups in the cellulose polymer with methyl groups. This modification imparts unique properties, making methylcellulose a versatile compound widely used in various applications. It is a white, odorless powder that is soluble in cold water, forming a viscous gel, but is insoluble in hot water. Methylcellulose exhibits excellent film-forming, thickening, and emulsifying properties, which makes it valuable in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Its ability to retain moisture and provide texture enhances the quality of baked goods and other food items. Additionally, methylcellulose is non-toxic and biodegradable, contributing to its appeal in environmentally friendly formulations. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a binder and thickener in drug formulations. Its thermal gelation property, where it forms a gel upon heating, is also utilized in various industrial applications. Overall, methylcellulose is a multifunctional ingredient with significant importance across multiple sectors due to its unique physicochemical characteristics.

CAS:<p>Methyl cellulose is a water-soluble polymer that is used as a binder or thickener in pharmaceutical, food, and ceramic processing applications. Methylcellulose has an unusual lower critical solution temperature (LCST) between 40 °C and 50 °C. At temperatures below the LCST it is readily soluble in water; above the LCST it is not soluble, which has a paradoxical effect that heating a saturated solution of methylcellulose will turn it solid, because methylcellulose will precipitate out. The temperature at which this occurs depends on DS-value, with higher DS-values giving lower solubility and lower precipitation temperatures because the polar hydroxyl groups are masked.</p>Color and Shape:White PowderMethyl cellulose - USP (viscosity ca 1500cP)
